The Photon camera provides all input/output signals via a single 30-pin SAMTEC TFML-115-
02-S-D-P connector (J1) with pin definitions as shown in Table 2 The signals on this connector
include input power, analog video output, serial communication channel for command and
control, external sync, voltage output, I/O pins and the digital data output.
